{quote} It works great now! Equity is perfect and my results are still quite stable! Regarding trailingstop. Could it be designed that way, that when it reaches a certain target (lets say 100 points) it start trailing and will take profit if it falls (lets say 20 point). This way we could have an infinitive TP as it will close the deal if the trade reverse after a certain point. Hope you understand my logic
Maybe also an option to close open orders, if an opposite signal occurs?

I'm not sure if I understand if you set tp to 100 points and your trailing points to 20, once it reaches 100 your sl will be set to 20 points below current price or above if its a buy/sell. So, if it hits your sl you will have a profit still. I need a detailed example of what you mean lol

This is actually what I want! But now, when I set TP of 100 and a trailing of 20, it will close the deal as soon as it hits 100.

Ok so you want the trailing to be activated as soon as the trade is open. If it moves up 5 pips the sl will be moved 5 pips. Correct?

I'm seeing the EA making double trades?
It does not occur when backtesting, but it does so "live".

Any idea on what's the reason behind?

Hey kongjarl sorry for the late reply, was out of town for a wedding.
Attached is the updated version. Trailing is now set so if price moves up from initial entry, it will move sl and will continue as price makes new highs. The gap will be your original sl. The duplicate orders should be fixed now and trades will close out if opposite signal is formed. Please test it out and let me know if everything is correct.

No problem. Hope it was a good wedding (always is)

It sounds perfect! I will test it out.
So far I'm up 8% for 4 days. So good start

I found the problem why it's double opening trades.

It only occurs when I have MT4 open on my pc. If it just trade via the virtual terminal, it only opens one trade.

Do you know why this is?

Also seems like it does not close trades when an opposite signal occurs.
It might be as the trades where made with v.1 ?

Do you have the EA attached to your mt4 on pc as well? Or only the virtual terminal? I'll take a look at the trades not closing right now

I have it attached to both MT4 and virtual terminal. That might be the issue. If I diable autotrading on mt4, it should still auto trade on virtual terminal, if i dont sync it right?

if you have the ea attached to both then it will place two trades since each is independent chart. You'll Need to remove the ea off your mt4 terminal or disable trading yes. I've included magic number setting in case you want to have 2 open charts and ea attached with different parameters. Try this version it fixes the opposing signal close out

MOVING AVERAGE 15 SL=20 (Rather have Trailing stop) TP=10 Fixed lot or % of equity {file} {file}
What timeframe do you trade? So I guess when the arrow appears above MA it's a buy and below then a sell?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

What I don't understand what is the point of MA? All alerts on halftrend are over/under the MA anyway. What does the MA help?

Sure. It's actually not the case. I use MA 40. Take a look at the picture.

I've tested MANY settings, and MA 40 seems to be the best setting. It filters out a lot of bad signals.

But in original post you say MA 15. So which is it then?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.
